Tigz™ Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 New drive shaft fitted and it fell out? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" />Get the garage who fitted it to pick it up and sort it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Get the dealer to collect the car and give you a courtesy car immediatelly, that is shocking workmanship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrat Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 had a new drive shaft ? i think you need to find out exactly what they replaced because the actual drive shaft wouldnt need replacing, but rather just the CV. There must be something else wrong with the car if it has popped the CV twice now, like your friend has said the engine or box mounts, or you might have kerbed it quite hard and bent the hub ?

Mitchell Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 i reckon they are talking **** about fitting a new shaft. they've probably just knocked the joint back on and said ......here there you go. but i find it strange for your car to do this mind , i've never came across it on a vw, other than once the six drive shaft bolts sheared on a very powerfull mk 1.

lunalupi Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 I'd say they should sort out a car for you - you've not had it long, its been in once, then it's barely out and its broken again. Be the least they could do to get you a courtesy car while they (properly) fix your Lupo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbeal_88 Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 foned the garage thismorning and been told theyv checked everything and the only thing they could find tht could be out was a ball joint.does this make sense to you guys?said the previous owner might have put a standard one in when replacing by accident....

lupolu Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 you could ask to see the old parts they replaced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
